Youth Prodigy Seeks Guidance From Top Government Official
A 12 year old Rhode Island entrepreneur named Jimmy Halpin writes to Secretary of Commerce John T. Connor with a twofold problem. Neighbors bother his business partners and their garage office sits on property owned by the kids grandmother. Connor notes typically antitrust issues go to Justice but local action may apply and suggests possible restraint by the grandmother. The boy runs two tiny ventures with friend Roland Audet, earns about 10 dollars monthly from gardening and lawn care and 36.75 from paper recycling in a garage, and records all transactions in booklets while facing repeated robberies. He asks for mail to the correct department.
